Actor Mike Cole (or is it Cole Michaels?) and Mrs Bandit herself, Sophie North, tackle our titan of TARDIS trivia. But who knows their erotic novels, and is Sylvester McCoy filthy?

S1E5 - 500 Bernards

Fri, 23 Aug 2019 10:00:00 GMT

Director Anoushka Bonwick and actor Rhys Lawton fend off our in-house Gallifreyan geek. But who knows their Scandinavian heavy metal bands, and is Catherine Tate rubbish?
